I'm going to get a list of all the legislators in my area and after much editing and removing all the bad words, start making phone calls to their offices and send letters asking "what the heck"? I'm also thinking about contacting groups that may have a vested interest in this issue like the...
FIRE MISSION !!! Being an artillery guy I didn't know how else to break the silence and break into any conversations. On my earlier post I made the mistake of "assuming" that the bureaucrats in Denver would abide by the new law as written and intended and that our historical military vehicles...
Somewhere we had another thread going on this topic a while back. Here's my take on this new legislation.It all started with a farm implement company in SE Colorado that buys / sells surplus military vehicles for agricultural usage and modifications to them for that purpose. The bill defines...
Overview: Legislation (SB19-054) has been introduced to allow for the titling and registration of former military vehicles. Currently, former military vehicles are not allowed to be registered or titled for on-road use in the state. The bill passed the Senate and currently awaits consideration...
Here is what my 2 cents is on this. I'm a Colorado resident and saw this first proposed as pending legislation here saying surplus military vehicles would be exempt from safety inspections and engine emissions testing. I looked into it more and found it was started as a result of some law...
Here's an opportunity for me to utilize my "mature years".....when I went in towards the end of Vietnam, we wore the green sateens satteside and green jungles in the field and bush, steel pots and everything painted green. We still had recoilless rifles, the Ontos was like a little tank with 6...
I have had a couple of M416's over the years for "civilian purposes" and it is perfect for me to pull with a Jeep. I put and end gate in my current one so I can haul roacks and it will easily carry 1 yard or @ a ton and half of rocks, dirt, whatever. Much more than that and it gets a little...
Greetings fellow"super bazooka" owner. There were some of these still around when I joined the Marines, also flame throwers (one more thing I need and the wife doesn't concur). The rounds came 3 to in a wooden crate and the individual rounds were inside of the usual black cardboard tar tubes...
Best of luck with your endeavors and please get us a video of the launching and hopefully very successful swim. Somewhere buried in the archives in here is a funny little tale of a guy floating his Goat for the first time with a buddy on shore giving him guidance....it's a real hoot.
You are a...
I didn't ask about cargo covers, but there is a separate advertisement for the end curtains also NIB. Another thread on a similar topic says he has no cargo covers.
Brand new cab covers for sale on that E place....new in the box, no mention of cargo covers, but if you go to the site you could ask him. He does also have new in the box cargo cover end curtains.
For those interested in new in the box cab covers for your Goat, that E-place has them listed at a surprisingly decent price. He also has new in the box cargo cover end curtains.
Now I have older ones in various degrees wear and tear for storage.
Not sure if the guy was pulling my leg or not...
Another shot at numbers is to check the bumpers, bumperettes and tailgate.....Army markings are different than USMC, USAF an USN just in case it was another service. As for mine I took the VIN which is 5 digits and put a 7 at the beginning since my truck is a 67' and it has USMC markings similar...
Lordy lordy...always wanted a Coot....got older and got a Gama Goat. Gama Goat hasn't been messed with hardly but it has a new garage around it. A Coot would very likely be upended and used as my headstone by the mizzuz. Not a very fitting use for such a fine machine says I. I can see Mike...
Greetings. welcome to the neighborhood. I'm east of CS also. If you are interested in a local Mil. Veh. group you may want to check out Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado.
